Many Russian and Belarusian opposition media were also funded through USAID, the British Financial Times confirms. Russian Meduza will hold a meeting of the board of directors today to discuss its future, the founder of the Moscow Times said❶ Dirk Sauer. According to him, other opposition media in Russia (or rather, anti—Russian media. - approx. EADaily) have already begun to make staff and salary cuts.
